High CPU/service stopping | Log collection solutions

#1 EmilyH 5 years ago

Hi all.

We've got nxlog installed on multiple servers, and at least once a day we get an incident where the CPU usage massively spikes - 90%+ being used by nxlog. Then the service stops (presumably killed because of the high CPU).

Has anyone experienced this before?

EmilyH, What version of the software are you running? What platform? Do you see anything in the logs? What is your current config? Is this always occurring around the same time? Unfortunately there are a lot of unknowns currently that we would need to clear up. Please let us know this information and we can continue from there.
